  1. 1. Formation Control and UAV Path Finding Under Uncertainty : A contingent and cooperative swarm intelligence approach

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Mehdi Hmidi; [2020]
    Keywords : Emergence; Swarm Intelligence; Cooperation; Consensus; Path Find- ing; Uncertainty; Obstacle avoidance; Unknown Beforehand; Decision making; Flocking behavior; Cohesion; Separation; Alignment; Steering; Pattern forma- tion; Self-organization; Swarm; UAV; Drone;

    Abstract : Several of our technological breakthroughs are influenced by types of behavior and structures developed in the natural world, including the emulation of swarm in- telligence and the engineering of artificial synapses that function like the human mind. Much like these breakthroughs, this report examines emerging behaviors across swarms of non-communicating, adaptive units that evade obstacles while find- ing a path, to present a swarming algorithm premised on a class of local rule sets re- sulting in a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) group navigating together as a unified swarm.

  3. 2. Long-Term Exploration in Unknown Dynamic Environments

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Rodrigue Bonnevie; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order for autonomous robots to perform tasks and safely navigate environments they need to have a reliable and detailed map. These maps are generally created by the robot itself since maps with the required level of detail rarely exist beforehand. In order to create that map the robot has to explore an unknown environment.

  4. 3. Autonomous flight of the micro drone Crazyflie 2.1 through an obstacle course

    University essay from

    Author : Chiedza Chadehumbe; Josefine Sjöberg; [2020]
    Keywords : autonomous; drone; crazyflie; quadcopter; obstacle detection; pathfinding;

    Abstract : A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle with multiple forms of usage. Drones can be programmed to fly with different degrees of autonomous flight. Autonomous controlled flight makes it possible for the drone to fly without human involvement and it is then controlled solely by software. READ MORE

  5. 4. Exploration Strategies for Robotic Vacuum Cleaners

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Sofia Navarro Heredia; [2018]
    Keywords : grid maps; frontier-based exploration strategies; NBV; node graph; path planning algorithm; Rutnätskartor; front-baserade strategier för utforskning; nästa bästa utsiktspunkt; nod-graf; algoritm för banplanering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an exploration mode for the PUREi9 robotic vacuum cleaner is implemented. This exploration would provide information for optimizing the cleaning path beforehand, and would allow the robot to relocalize itself or the charger more easily in case it gets lost. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluating motion capture as a means of system identification of a quadcopter

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Martin Ottenklev; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the method of identifying unknown parameters that affect the dynamics of a given quadcopter, also known as grey box system identification. This was primarily done utilising an inertial measurement unit and a motion capture camera system. READ MORE
